If you like your gumbo, stew or gravy to have a lighter color, try Savoie's Light Roux. Like Savoie's Old Fashioned Roux (Dark), this product is made with 100% vegetable oil and contains No Cholesterol. Some traditional Louisiana recipes, such as etouffees and bisques, call for a milder flavor and a lighter color. This roux is the perfect ingredient.
